About the Chapel Gallery @ St. Matthias
The Gallery is a multifunctional, not-for-profit, art space designed to invite the local arts community to exhibit a variety of visual art mediums, such as painting, drawing, photography, fabric art, mixed media and sculpture.
The Gallery wants to showcase original artwork of a socially relevant, contemplative, and reflective nature in a sacred, safe and respectful space.
The church of St. Matthias opened the Chapel Gallery to share our chapel space as a community place for art.
The Gallery allows us to share widely our understanding of the creativity of the Divine.
We welcome all: including those who might never think of entering a church; including those who might never have visited an "art gallery".
